The House of Yes

About This Movie

The House of Yes is a twisted little gem that blends dark humor with family dysfunction. Set against the backdrop of a Thanksgiving gathering, it explores the peculiar dynamics of a family that’s both charming and deeply unsettling. Jackie-O, played with a haunting intensity, is fixated on her idol, Jackie Kennedy, which creates this odd atmosphere of both nostalgia and tension. The pacing keeps you on your toes—moments of levity punctured by dark revelations. The performances, particularly by Parker Posey, are striking, bringing a palpable energy that drives the film. The dialogue is sharp, and the whole thing feels almost theatrical in its presentation, which gives it a distinctive flavor in the indie film landscape of the late '90s.
